• Class 2 News

 Welcome to Class 2 (Year 3 & 4)

Week beginning 12th January 2026

Firstly, thank you to both the children and parents for welcoming our new Class 2 teaching team. We absolutely love Sharneyford Primary School and look forward to spending more time in your wonderful school.

We have had another busy week in Class 2 after the children spent last week completing their assessments. Well done! In English we have begun the unit based on fables. So far we have looked at ‘The Hare and the Tortoise’ and enjoyed watching a short clip of this fable, although as always we are so busy having fun as a class we are definitely not taking it ‘slow and steady’.

In maths both year groups are working hard to master their times-tables and use their knowledge of this to complete both multiplication and division calculations. If you would like to continue supporting at home, please use the free websites below.

Thank you Mrs Smith, Mr Rothwell, Mrs. Quinn and Miss.Handley

Curriculum Overview - Spring 1st Half Term

Further Information - Routines

Children come into class each morning to an activity - either times tables, reading or handwriting which they learn to independently access while the class settles and the register is taken. Typically the children take part in English and Maths every morning with other subjects in the afternoon. PE is on a Monday and Wednesday and children should have their PE kits in school. Children are allowed to bring a water bottle containing water for class times. 

Times tables Rock Stars. 

Log in details have been given out for our new TTRockStars programme. Children are encouraged to play as much as possible to help them to improve their scores. Children will be carrying out written tests on times tables 3 times a week. Here is the link:-  http://ttrockstars.com/login 

Homework

Homework will be given out on Fridays and should be returned by the following Friday. It is really important that it is handed in on time to encourage independence and responsibility.

Reading Books

We encourage children to read as often as possible. Please can you sign your child's reading record when you have heard them read. If they finish their book and require a new one, please let the teacher know either in person or by writing in their record. Once records are handed in to the teacher, your child will receive a new reading book.
